Its low profile and simple, sleek lines tapering into a pointed rear-end are evocative of 1940s American saloons.

The vastly elongated front end is split down the middle creating two different luggage compartments and matching luggage to go with it.

The compartmentalised front-left section of the bonnet features accessories such as a luxury picnic kit is like a bourgeois game of Tetris, while the right side is somewhat more conventional.

Inside the car, the cabin is designed like a trendy cocktail bar, with the white Nappa leather interior broken up by LED lights which wrap around the inside – underscoring the dashboard and dotted across the seats.

Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer of Daimler AG, explains the design: "The Vision Mercedes-Maybach 6 Cabriolet takes modern luxury into the realms of the ultimate in luxury, and is the perfect embodiment of our design strategy.
